Some customer information is “reputational risk management code” for only
140,781 customers.
We are continuing to invest heavily in cyber security and data protection
safeguards. We are also implementing additional email security controls,
strengthening our user authorization and authentication processes, and limiting
the types of data permitted to be transferred via email.
